Son españolismos desde el punto de vista comparativo en el que me baso18 palabras como ordenador (DRAE, s. v., 4a acepción), billete (DRAE, acs. 1 a 4; en México sólo se usa la ac. 5: billete de banco), bragas (DRAE, s. v., 1a. ac), jersey (DRAE, s. v., única ac.) o bañador (DRAE, s. v., 3a. ac.). Los mexicanismos correspondientes —véase el DEUM, ss. vv.— son, respectivamente, computadora, boleto, pantaletas, suéter y traje de baño, términos que de paso son más generales en el español, con la excepción de pantaletas, cuyo sinónimo más usual en los países hispánicos es calzón(es).
